"Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason."  —JORDAN PETERSON The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Renowned host of the popular YouTube show “The SAAD Truth”, Dr. Gad Saad exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West. Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic first-hand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied–before it’s too late.

I was so excited to receive my copy of *The Parasitic Mind* by Gad Saad. I had long been supportive of efforts to push back on ideas, the likes of postmodernism, social justice, political correctness, identity politics, etc. These ideas, if translated into policy could be corrosive to our western culture and the cohesion of our societies. So, upon opening the book I was primed to sympathize with the discussion of the issues and solutions.My cognitive reasoning faculties were tuned up and ready to process what I thought would be some logical, evidence-based common sense-making.It didn't take long to shatter my enthusiasm. Starting on page 25, Gad Saad started setting the stage for his arguments by talking about the two main ways people process messages. He contends that the central processing route is cognitive (logical) in nature while the peripheral method is affective (emotional). I am not sure where the prioritization came from (maybe his scientific background) but I believe that most people (non-scientists) are indeed "logical" but that logic is tempered, if not completely dominated by our human propensity for approximation and quick emotional assessments ("better safe than sorry"). I agree with Hume on this.As an example, Saad uses the negative "hysteria" around Donald Trump expressed by most Trump detractors. He decries those hysterics because they use their "peripheral" affective processing to make a negative assessment of Trump. Saad states that they should use their "primary" cognitive processing to dispassionately evaluate Trump's policies. Give me a break Dr Saad. Selecting politicians (an most other everyday evaluations) is mostly emotional as it should be. You "like" him or you don't - his policy is good for me or not. The Trump policies under review also contain significant emotional content (abortion, racism, immigrants, tax breaks for the rich) so it is almost impossible to to drill down to the "logical" political choice. Dr Saad's simplistic "cognitive" solution (spend more time thinking logically on things) is really a non-starter and denies, our basic human nature. Our politicians are chosen emotionally. As for Trump supporters and detractors - both seem to maintain consistency within their affective and cognitive reasoning components - thus neither group are prone to change their minds.Here we are - postmodernist lefties want their policies enacted to the detriment of others and to benefit themselves. The right wingers want the same. Both groups are consonant within their cognitive and affective thought processes. One man's voter suppression policy under the guise of ballot security is another man's disenfranchisement policy. I suppose we all make Faustian bargains for a perceived short-term benefit. Dispassionately assessing "policy" ends up in an emotional sand trap. This is politics - deciding who gets a benefit and who has to pay. Homeostasis is not possible but perhaps we can find some kind of balance. I remember what Mick Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want".My biases (cognitive and affective) have kicked in perhaps blinding me to the real value of Gad Saad's words. Dr Saad's thinking seems to me a bit superficial with solutions a bit too simplistic.
